2018 Map of Abernant

About this map

Abernant and the surrounding hills of eastern Tuscaloosa County are depicted here in a landscape defined by small settlements and an extensive network of reservoirs. The area's geography is shaped by the ridge-and-valley topography of Griffin Ridge and Cely Ann Mtn, with residential growth clustered around significant water bodies such as Million Dollar Lake and Lake View. The transition from rural homesteads to modern subdivisions is evident in the dense street grids of Million Dollar Lake Estates contrasted against older communities like Yolande and Pattersontown. Local history is anchored by several rural burying grounds and places of worship, including Liberty Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Hephzibah Church, providing clear points of reference for genealogists tracing family ties to this portion of the coal-bearing region near the Jefferson County line.
